    L1 & 2 can't start without fans, it is simply unaffordable which is why we stopped in the first place. Not like you to forget facts like that Fordy.

    No, not forgot mate. The issue a like Bradford will have is that I doubt this government will allow full capacity and it's sounding like it will be around 20%. Is that enough for it to continue.

    The government as not even telling people to go back to their offices yet, so I doubt it will be 10k plus people can go to a football match anytime soon.

    Nicky Law is a free agent and of this month, did a good job last time he was here and one of the more consistent performers at Exeter.

    When he came here on loan I thought Nicky was great and I hoped he would sign permanently. He was more of an out and out attacking midfielder who liked to get in the box.
    But when eventually he came back he seemed to get much more negative with square passing.
    When he came back last season for the first half an hour I thought he looked very good before drifting out.
    It wouldn’t surprise me if Stuart brings him back unfortunately

    EFL rumour site. Bradford City have joined Shrewsbury Town & Exeter City in the race to sign former Bristol Rovers midfielder Liam Sercombe.
    Never heard of him.

    deadline is usually a couple of weeks into season, so season should start mid September.

    Yes they have, about two weeks ago. They said if you want or need to go back then do so but preferably not on public transport. That's one of the reasons JCT have just reported record inquiries/ sales in used cars.
    Where I live the peak hour traffic especially in the morning, is back to 70% of normal and growing. This week a number of the massive number of school buses to Harrogate have added to that. We are returning slowly and hopefully, sensibly.

    That may well be the case for the Premier League to comply with EUFA, but as the EFL teams are not playing in Europe, then there could well be a different date. As has been said before, this usually comes into effect about 2 weeks into the season. That could suggest that the league would start on 19th September? If League 2 clubs have to operate on a limited squad, then it will be even more important than usual.

    we've just had two seasons of being overstocked with tidy midfielders who can pick a pass, we need a battler before anyone like that.

    Well Hancock said two days ago when asked for people still to work from home if they can and the government might even look into bringing in a law for companies to allow employees to work from home.
    As for JCT 600 the other all car sales is down. Not much money in used cars at all. Car deals make more money from new car sales.
    https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/uk-new-car-registrations-down-89-year-year-may-2020
    I'm sure JCT600 will be getting inquires for used cars but inquires are not sales boosting and lets see how their sales are doing.
    In terms of the football. I doubt the government are going to say you can go to a football match with 4k plus people but you can't work from your office...Then you have the scientists saying talk side by side nonsense.
    Traffic has increased(I don't live far from you) but you also have to remember a lot of people are on furlough who can't work so might be doing social things such as shopping, talking kids to school. playing golf.
    Shops opened on Monday and sales are down 45% year on year date even with all the sales on which highlights to me the footfall wasn't there because most people are at home!!
    Until the government says everyone can go back to their office then the economy won't recover. I expect many redundancies over the next few weeks.

    Yes I get all that but he was one of the first players Stuart brought back, Stuart wanted to keep him but Rahic knew better, he is accused of being a crab but this is where I disagree with your comment he could pick a pass.

    And the Bank of England was pumping £110billion into the economy and commented "they said there was growing evidence that the hit to the economy would be "less severe" than initially feared".
    It's not great but let's try and take any positivity we can get, watching Question Time and most of it was the blame game only Steve Parish seemed to have any positivity going forward even saying tracking can be done manually until the correct app is put in place, which they all agreed to.

    He is a Bristol lad. I would imagine Exeter or Shrewsbury would be more appealing to him

    I rate him as a player myself but I want someone who can tackle before we think about anything else. just about had enough of watching other teams stroll through our midfield like its not there
